Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) surgery has become the standard technique in Thoracic Surgery since its introduction 20 years ago. Single port VATS appeared as the next step in its evolution, with rapid development since the first uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy (VATS lobectomy) by Dr. Diego Gonzalez-Rivas. During the last 5 years, the approach has been simplified, standardized and taught in many countries, courses, live surgery and dedicated programs, with reproducible results. Hands-on courses represent the best way to learn a new surgical technique, as it shortens learning curves and decreases complications. We present the first training course in single port VATS in our country, which became the first hands course in Thoracic Surgery in Chile.
电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）自20年前引入以来，已成为胸外科的标准技术。单孔VATS作为其发展的下一步出现，自迭戈·冈萨雷斯 - 里瓦斯医生首次进行单孔电视辅助胸腔镜肺叶切除术（VATS肺叶切除术）以来发展迅速。在过去5年中，该方法已在许多国家、课程、现场手术和专门项目中得到简化、标准化并传授，且结果具有可重复性。实践课程是学习新手术技术的最佳方式，因为它缩短了学习曲线并减少了并发症。我们展示了我国首个单孔VATS培训课程，该课程成为智利胸外科的首个实践课程。
